She reminds me a little bit of Gibbs, who, like him, needed to work to "feel better" after a bad or tragic experience. But losing yourself in work to "get over" or avoid the demons in your life is not a healthy way to live, especially in a paradise like Hawaii.
If Gibbs would've appear on this spin off he give good advice for Tennant and piece of advice parent to parent after everything he lost his wife and daughter, but different. He had his original team they were family to him and they were the people who kept him together in the end.
